The Arctic Barents Sea and, in particular, the north and north-east part of the Barents Sea have challenging ice conditions with level ice, ice rubble, ice ridges, icebergs and ice drift. Ice conditions change during the year. The climate is extreme, with low temperatures, snow and ice and strong winds. During the summer period, there is 24 hour daylight and this changes to complete darkness during winter (December-January). Water depth in the Barents Sea is around 200-300 meters. The ICEOP project main objective is to give increased business development opportunities for oil and gas exploration and production in the arctic by improved maritime accessibility, better knowledge of ice conditions and more accurate models to ensure safe and environmental friendly field developments. The project shall: Perform field expeditions, measurements and data collection, increase current knowledge base of the Barents Sea area ice conditions, establish best practice models/understanding for ice and structure interactions relevant for the Barents Sea, and create recommendations for oil and gas field development concepts.
